1. A method of at least partially fitting a hearing prosthesis device to a recipient, comprising:
obtaining access to a sensory prosthesis that has been used to evoke a sensory percept using a first focusing regime for a temporal period corresponding to at least acclimation to the first focusing regime; and
adjusting a control setting of the prosthesis to increase focusing relative to that which is the case with respect to the first focusing regime, wherein
the action of adjusting the control setting includes purposely adjusting the control setting to have focusing that is effectively less focused than a maximum focus possible.
